excellent... the icon issue is resolved. i did see that option in nautilus but had no idea what it did so i didn't touch it. perhaps there should be references to desktop setting changes in there (??). anyway, all good now. i began to fill out the bug report for the nautilus dumps, but i have never been able to reproduce it correctly, and every time it happens i seem to be doing something else. i will pay closer attention to what i'm doing next time and try notice a pattern or whatever. anyway... beginning to like gnome very much... thanks for your help.
